The starting point for this varied e-bike route is the mid cable car station Riederalp. Along the paved Aletsch promenade, you ride with a dreamy view of the opposite mountain ranges towards Bettmeralp. After passing through the village, a challenging climb follows to Wurzenbord. Alternatively, you can take the Wurzenbord chairlift up. From there, the route continues relatively flat to Fiescheralp. There you take the climb to the Tälligrattunnel, where a magnificent view of the Fiesch Glacier awaits you. After passing through the tunnel, you reach Märjelensee. Tip: Take some time and walk down to the glacier edge to marvel at the Great Aletsch Glacier. On the return journey, you follow the same route until shortly before Bettmeralp. Before the village, however, turn right. Ride up to the idyllic Bettmersee and continue via Gopplerlücke and Golmenegg back to the mid cable car station Riederalp.
